Tried to fix that link but no dice.
So my follow question is this. . .Since they have sold 90k tickets to this Giants game in London - in what spirit are people attending this spectacle? Out of curiosity or something?

I was there last night - so was Cap'n Gally. Truth is many people over here love American Football and know the game inside out. My brother in law for example who was also there has followed the game for 20 years and is a massive Giants fan. He knows just about every NFL player on the circuit and many players going back a decade. An interesting fact is that there is more live NFL on UK TV than Premier League Football. There were about 10k US fans flown over for a weekend in london taking in the game and they had a lot of fun. Last night was absolutely awesome by the way. I will post some pictures when I get a chance. Not sure they will be any good - the 3 hour game took our badly paced drinking plans apart

a bit of a view of some soggy action at Wembley last night - full house. I bet those cheerleaders in those skimpies were a bit cold last night god bless em' Three Pirates if I ever did see one! From distant to foreground - Simon - Canadian Pirate soon to return to the frozen North Cap'n Gally looking pleased with life. Mike - In Heaven at his forst ever official NFL game, his knowledge of the sport is amazing. I'm behind the camera in My Dolphin's gear

Glad you had fun You will notice one Pirate missing - shocking Behaviour Im not bitter and twisted. Im still trying to understand how its called football though, when the game is played with your hands what was the score anyway? 95-68 or something

I wish they would call it gridiron again - to lessen the confusion. It would be a better game maybe if they didn't stretch an hours worth of game into three hours. That's rampant American commercialism for you though.

Someone had to say it, we were all thinking it score was 13:10 to the Giants. Didn't feel stretched out to be honest, but we were just havin a ball so we didn't notice I guess.
